The bass player singing lead on this, Randy Meisner, just passed away about 5 months ago at age 77. He was known to be a very sweet and nice guy. His spirit and singing will be missed.
I just cried listening to it and watching the ladies reactions. I saw them sing it live in 1977 just 6 days before this was recorded. The audience went wild!
If you watch the documentary on the eagles glen frey tells the story of how terrified Randy miesner would panic when he had to sing this song to close the show because he was so afraid he wouldn’t hit the high notes. Rest in peace Randy. You never missed.
first video i've seen of yours. love seeing the younger generation listen/appreciate the classics. one tidbit of this song. this song used to cause strife within the band because randy meisner (the main singer of this song) had trouble belting out the lyrics, especially towards the end, which was very taxing on his vocal chords. the powers that be of the band (don henley & glenn frey) used to give meisner a lot of shit. so when you see randy belt the "ahhhhhhh" at the end, notice the reaction of frey and how excited he gets and puts an extra umph on his instrument. keep it up!
I didn't hear about the singing being a problem with his vocal cords (no h), rather Frey and Henley wanted him to sing it because the fans wanted to hear it. But Meisner hated the spotlight and sometimes refused to sing, and Frey was insistent. I don't like Henley or Frey, but they were right. If Meisner wanted to be a rock musician in a huge band like Eagles, he should've sucked it up and performed it every show, for the fans who paid big money. Anyway, RIP Frey and Meisner.
I'm just old enough to remember when this song was new. I remember being on the school bus (3rd or 4th grade), and this song was playing in the background, and you could have heard a pin drop. Total silence among all of us, because we were all grooving to this song.
So if you can imagine, Randy Meisner (the lead singer in this song), was really shy about singing solos and this was actually his last tour with Eagles. I mean, WHAT a voice! This whole concert is really worth watching, "Hotel California" and "Take It Easy" feature two other of their members singing lead. They sounded just as good in person as they did in the studio. Great reaction!
@@stevetokeley6542 They pushed him to do it even when he wasn't feeling well. But it was more than that. Incessant touring and bossy behaviour by the two pushy, selfish members of the band.
Came out in 1975-1976. First time I ever went to a bar, with my parents of course (back in the day you could get in with your parents). I was was 16 and it was the first time I danced to a song in a bar. Good memories.
He got fired because that high note became more and more inconsistent and he became obsessive about it to the point where his nerves would make it even more difficult for him to do it every night. Frey berated him over it which didn’t help and he was essentially chased out of the band because Frey was pretty aggressive and Randy was just a gentle soul. Poor Randy RIP This was also their first real “hit song”
Randy co-wrote this song with Don H. and Glenn F. of the Eagles. Before he was in the Eagles, he was in a band called Poco. He also did some solo work. IMHO, the best of those is this one... th-cam.com/video/k3jFaDmC1t0/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared

Great reaction ladies. One of my favourite Eagles tracks. I was privileged to have been around when these songs were first released. Still brilliant!!

the best eagles song - glad they enjoyed it!
These girls seem so innocent
OMG, I was 19 years old in 1976 and in college in Oregon, and I had such a massive crush on Randy. RIP sweet dreams my love.

God forever bless Randy. So thrilled to see he lives on.❤

Wasn't that why he left? Didn't like being the front man,and they pushed him into it?

You guys swaying to that groove is so cute!

Bad ass vibrato Randy- sing it brother!
I grew up listening to the Eagles!
The only thing I love more than . classic rock, is beautiful black women. Beautiful inside and out. Good luck with the channel
R.I.P Randy!❤
Your feelin' the Eages they're smooth
Take it to the Limit is also on the best selling album in the USA. Of all time
You can spend all your time making money or you can spend all your love making time.
One of my top 5 music classic lyrics.
I love your emotional reaction to this lovely tune
Great music and excellent reaction, ladies.
Pretty maids all in a row!❤
Randy, underrated, R.I. P.
Nice reaction ladies!!
Love.
Love this song
What a great time to be alive so glad I enjoyed it in my yonger years
I love the blond inside and out. I've seen her before on another reactions pretty sure.
...but the dreams I've seen lately...keep tuning out and burning out...if it all fell to pieces tomorrow, would you still be mine?
Whaaaaaa they say😵💫
Ang galing😢😢😢😢
Look at the closeups of randy and he usually had his eyes closed mostly cause of the stage fright
you can only out do this song with live version of "Seven Bridges Road". Masterpiece.
He got fired because that high note became more and more inconsistent and he became obsessive about it to the point where his nerves would make it even more difficult for him to do it every night. Frey berated him over it which didn’t help and he was essentially chased out of the band because Frey was pretty aggressive and Randy was just a gentle soul. Poor Randy RIP This was also their first real “hit song”
Man my thoughts on what I just saw. I saw 4 women afraid to be free.
React to Lying eyes by the Eagles, next please. Thank you
Randy co-wrote this song with Don H. and Glenn F. of the Eagles. Before he was in the Eagles, he was in a band called Poco. He also did some solo work. IMHO, the best of those is this one...

This song sounds a lot like Prince's Purple Rain😮
So he stole it from the Eagles? This came first.
@@owenschnitzler9340 Just sounds similar. I'm not pressing charges.
BEAUTIFUL LADIES
Randy Meisner. Full stop !
# R.I.P.RandyMeisner
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy u cant see them why
That's not their first reaction to the song the girl with the blue dress at 1:15 almost mouthed the lyrics but stopped short .
I agree.
not sure how you can call it a 'first' reaction when ya'll know the words.
Why do black men treat black women like sit
Meisner is incredible..............
Their BEST song ever.......'Lyin eyes'' number 2.
